I saw Currys in town is closing down with a sale on, so I nipped in. They had some nice pcs and laptops in there but then I remembered they all run Windows 11 ☹️

I've just donated. Screw Musk, Wikipedia is a great resource.

It is. It'll be weird if the song becomes an anthem for fascists.

It's ironic that the band member that supports Trump is the one dressed as a cop.

@persagen

Sounds like he's throwing his band mates under the bus.

@benroyce

Correction, commercial social media is killing democracy: Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg etc al.

"an analysis from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found that Trump’s proposal would slash taxes for the richest 5% and raise them for everyone else. "

I'll say it again, billionaires are scum and I'm insulted everytime companies like Temu and Paco Rabanne suggest we want to be billionaires in their adverts. I don't want to be a billionaire, I want to be kind and a good team player in society.

I've been having all sorts of problems with Mastodon since about Tuesday 😔 It's been hanging with the circle icon in @apps home and notifications, and in the notifications on the website. The website home feed is whizzing around like a fruit machine 😞

@AdamStuartSmith

Give people the option to reply on the fedi or twitter. Then if they click twitter rickroll them.

@pfefferle

We drove past the train station volunteers litter picking #today and it occured to me that capitalism has conditioned people to think that anything is only worth doing for monetary rewards. This is totally warped.

The volunteers work at the station is very much more worthy to society than earning a tiny percent of money for wages, going to a rich company, which will probably be spent by giving it back to a different rich company.

If you add tags in a toot for people to use to filter out toots, do they still see the replies unless they also contain the tags or does the filters exclude the whole thread?

@selzero

I remember when BT did a special event where if you texted a landline the landline user would get the message read out by Tom Baker's voice.

@tizmic

Incorporating reels into Instagram made Instagram suck big time for people that just wanted to share photos, especially photographers. A separate app for video content is a better option imo.

Fedilabs has a problem with the sdf mastodon instance. It wasn't showing images in posts, or my lists so I tried to logout and login and it now says it cant find the clientid?

@aral

And stop cartoonifying narcissistic ex UK prime ministers. He's not a cuddly little rascal, he's a sh*t stain on society.

@apps

Oh thanks ? I can't see it in the settings, which location is it? (I'm using dark theme if that matters)

@apps

Oh so I am going the wrong way ?

I thought that was the way because you can pull down to refresh at the top. Plus it is a bit confusing with the timestamps of the boosts mixed in with the toots. Maybe you could style it to make the stamps of the toots stand out a bit from the boosted ones?

@apps

Excuse the stupid question ? Is the main feed meant to be scrolled with a downswipe (opposite way to profiles)?
